RFID Applied to Optical Spectrum for Network Resources Inventory Management

In this work a new management model and capacity evaluation of a telecommunication network will be proposed by using RFID, a technology globally employed in logistics and supply chain control. This implementation will be achieved by introducing a binary combination of RF subcarriers in the optical spectrum through optical modulators. This new arrangement will establish a new management model-distributed, real-time, and reliable; for inventory evaluation in telecom optical networks.
